In April of 2008, Dr. Stillson stepped down as the sole Chair of the Task Force. Although CPA by-laws require an individual as officially designated “chair” for all committees and task forces (Kathy McCloskey), in actuality we function with five rotating Co-Chairs equal in organizational power/status: Christopher Bory, Trevor Floyd, Bekah Jackson, Kathy McCloskey, and Richard Stillson.
